Anyone knows Microbiology test specification for Cosmetics?
need for TAMC, TYMC, Pathogens specifications
Dear Pratik N. Chauhan ,
There are several specifications for Microbiology tests for Cosmetics.
But you need to pay attention to the specification of cosmetics is territoriality.
The method can be used for reference, but the Specification may vary by region.
The following are some specifications.
ISO 21149:2017 - Enumeration and detection of aerobic mesophilic bacteria
ISO 16212:2017 - Enumeration of yeast and mould
ISO 29621:2010 - Guidelines for the risk assessment and identification of microbiologically low-risk products
ISO 17516:2014 - Microbiological limits
ISO 21148:2017 - General instructions for microbiological examination
ISO 18415:2017 - Detection of specified and non-specified microorganisms
ISO 11930:2012 - Evaluation of the antimicrobial protection of a cosmetic product
ISO 22717:2015 - Detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
ISO 21150:2015 - Detection of Escherichia coli
ISO 22718:2015 - Detection of Staphylococcus aureus
ISO 18416:2015 - Detection of Candida albicans
I hope this can help your research.
Simplifying
Cosmetic micro specs include two elements;
1) Total count. Some reg's recognize two of these - one for kids and eyes (to to 500/ml or g) and another for general products (up to 1000 cfu/ml or g. Major industry works at 100 cfu/ml or g.
2) Objectionable microbes. For health concerns, no detection of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Candida albicans is universal. Some reg's add Enterococcus. Many add Burkholderia cepacia complex. Major cosmetic companies specify no staph or candida as above and no detected Gram negative bacteria.
